wydings

she rallied the people of panyi and told them wei and qiao are now an alliance through marriage. so the people of panyi are now citizens of wei so if he broke off the wedding it wouldn't be a good look on him in the eyes of the people. he was going to marry her whether the grandpa lived or died tbh.

it's not in the novel. isn't the tunnel only useful if the two sides go to war? with the way things are going I don't think there's going to be a war between the two clans but i can see how the optics of digging a tunnel to transport troops is kinda provocative and damaging to trust. it might just be one of those things that won't get brought up again, but who knows.

it's a work in progress lol.

Ayo! 8.9 baby!!! 😂

I always felt that she was let down a couple times by him and that might've delayed it but the foundation was always there. Especially when she seemed fine to move forward and have a life with him and be a good wife, but then found out about the little things he did behind her back like stationing troops in Panyi and how he put on a show using her in front of his uncles.

i personally think he's the mastermind of the entire show. everyone is a chess piece and he's the player type shit.

he's giving eunuch vibes to me especially when he's drink LMAO

the most interesting thing after 4 episodes is really just the mysterious guy with the metal mask lmfao.

because WY swiped her nose LMAO. towards the end of ep 11 where he supposedly found the jade bracelet and xiao tao went to retrieve from him she also covered her nose LOL it was hilarious.

goddamn ZLS had a lot of work done lol. She looks nothing like this now.

oh nah.. is she considering putting a huadian on face to imitate the new girl? LMAO

oh ya he becomes obsessed with the FL lol.

pretty sure it's in chronological order. ML visits the guy at the brothel and leaves that jade thingy that is then given to FL so to the FL it implies that he went to the brothel which is a no no. he's trying to create distrust between the leads which is why in the EP 13 teaser she hits him with those wooden scrolls for reading her letters lol.

the Wei strategist seems to have become a marriage counselor lmaoo

interesting lol she pledges her loyalty to him. I wonder under what context.

Lol no. She rallied the people of Panyi telling them that their cities/clans are united by marriage. So the first time he tried to reject the marriage he only did her wrong, but if he declines to marry her the second time he’d be doing the people wrong. The seal was practically useless if he can’t get the citizens to support him like they do her.

I guess I meant like her amusement towards him clouds her judgement. Love probably wasn't the correct word tbh lol.

lol i feel like the FL is smart but it's twice now she's sorta been caught slacking because of love. The first time she willingly gave the seal to him only for him to kick her out and the second time she didn't see the show he was putting on for his uncles until he asked her to take care of the whole concubine situation. she's a bit love brained IMO.

Their families have beef and he plans to kill her entire family. He doesn't care if she was touched or not, he just wants the seal without having to marry her. That was the plan from the beginning which is why he requested the marriage be held in Panyi instead of Xindu. There's a really cute scene towards the beginning of EP 4 if you don't drop by then lol.

He got her to give him that thing without having to marry her that was the whole plan. So yes, he tricked her which is why she said she misjudged him.
